Third Grade Magnet -- "Ramadan"

Ms; Abu-Bakir's and Mr. Oasay's classes -- we will be doing "Ramadan" by Nancy Stewart as our vocal song to accompany the instrumental "Ode to Joy." Press the play button at the bottom and follow along with the lyrics. Watch your phrasing, of the lines of the verses often start on the second beat rather than the first.

Ramadan
By Nancy Stewart

I have a friend, his name is Omar.
His family celebrates Ramadan,
The nine month of the lunar year.
His family celebrates Ramadan.
Ramadan, Ramadan; his family celebrates Ramadan

Ev’ry morning they get up
and have a meal before it’s light
They don’t eat and they don’t drink.
They fast until the dark of night during
Ramadan, Ramadan; his family celebrates Ramadan

On the first day of the month at follows Ramadan
their family invites us the feast that they put on celebrating
Ramadan, Ramadan; their family celebrates Ramadan

I have a friend, her name is Ameena.
Her family celebrates Ramadan.
We go to school together and play.
Ameena prays five times a day during
Ramadan, Ramadan; her family celebrates Ramadan.
Ramadan, Ramadan; her family celebrates Ramadan.

Ramadan, Ramadan, Ramadan mubarak, Ramadan
